Perhaps the Most Historically Inacurate Show Ever Done 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 12 people found this review helpful.

If you would like a 90210 version of history then you will love this show. This show is an insult to anyone who respects the real history of these characters. Memo to the show's creators: Henry VIII was a very large man, not the sexy somewhat effiminate character shown in this series. WHAT A JOKE!

Good Entertainment Value 4 out of 5 stars.

If you take this for the entertainment value and NOT historical accuracy, you won't be disappointed. This is entertainment, loosely based on history. It's very well done on a grand scale and even though you *know* how certain events unfold, you will still find yourself waiting for Henry to step in at the last minute and stop them.

Loved Season 2! 5 out of 5 stars.

Another great season of this series. If you liked the first season, you will love this season!

Characters get even better, plot gets even thicker, and the writing seems to have improved over season 1. There is absolutely no reason not to buy this season if you liked the first one.

Enjoy!

Uninteresting. 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

season 1 was plagued with horribly dialog, simplistic plotting and storylines, weak acting, and a lack of complexity that was overwhelming at times.

While interesting concepts were introduced from time to time these were quickly forgotten and the show relayed on what premium networks have focused on for years juvenile excuses for characters to have sex with one another. Rome had this as well but at least it managed to have an interesting story line to go along with it.


The lone bright spot of that season was Sam Neil, who quite frankly acted circles around everyone else.

That being said I have heard that Season 2 is somewhat of an improvement. I personally don't have the stomach for it but anyone even mildly interested in the show I would advise to start there because you are barking up the wrong tree with the first season.

Completely Awesome!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I had The Tudors on my wish list for sometime and finally ordered it. I watched the whole 1st season in 2 sittings it was that good. I don't understand the people who did not like The Tudors because it was not historically correct, So what! It's entertainment people!! It truely entertained me. I found myself thinking about it well after watching it. I put the second season on pre-order and it should be here today or tomorrow. I know I'm going to tear into it right away. The only problem is once I finish the 2nd season, I will have a LONG wait for the 3rd.
